This video actually shows you the process of making the clay figures, the shooting of it, and the final cut. the reason i chose this video was that there were voice actors along with the animation to bring it more to life than without. Also the rhythm in witch the character move makes them very realistic.

Ive seen this video many times before, the movement in the way the artist uses the sand creates a feeling that you wouldn't get with any other type of animation. I love how you actually watch them while they make the story right in front of your eyes. This story in particular catches my eye because of the depth with in the story and how it makes you feel what the woman in the story is feelings with only making a picture.

I thought the video was breath taking even though it was only in a couple of minutes it showed the life of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and therefore "Rising." The background music was amazing it couldn't have went better with the Animation it just made it that much better. You never see at Animated caterpillar blown up that much and being able to see that makes it look like the size o a whale. the perspective at with the Animation is show really captures the true beauty of the transformation of the caterpillar in a way a lot of people don't see.

"time warp" used the element of line very well, hat attracted me to this video was how the story played with the music in the background and how creative it got near the end.

I love the movie Tangled and this film was basically telling a story but with her hair having a mind of it own, it also uses the quality of contrast i the way its a real girl but the background is very not real most of the time and it plays along with her very well.

technology is a really big part of our lives today and while watching this i feel like i'm watching someone play on their ipad when the hand comes in and interacts with the peace. I love the contrast between the light and dark shades in this animation.

I never really liked the music video to Gangnam style but this version is by far way better. I thought that it was such a cool idea to make a play on a music video and change it up. The abstractness and color of this video is amazing and eye-catching.
